New EU directive provides further protection for whistle-blowers – Nicolas Brooke and Camille Gravis

6 February 2020

Following the recent decision by the European Council, new rules will require the creation of safe channels for reporting both within an organisation - private or public - and to public authorities. It will also provide a high level of protection to whistle-blowers against retaliation, and require national authorities to adequately inform citizens and train public officials on how to deal with whistle-blowing.

The legislation will now be formally signed and published in the Official journal. Member states will have two years to transpose the new rules into their national law.
